Hey, Depending on how severe the scars are there are many different treatment that you can try. Milder flat scars with basically just discolouration you could try a bleaching cream. If the scars are slightly more severe or you want to get rid of them a bit faster you could try chemical peels, If scars are really severe or you have hypertrophic or keloid scarring which is raised scarring then you could try chemical peels, laser resurfacing, scar revision (which is surgery when the entire scar is cut out and skin sew back together similiar to skin graphs). Punch grafting if it is icepick scaring which is the like scar revision. Or again if it is keliod scaring (raised scars) steriod injection directly into the scar can help flatten it over time. All of these treatment would be performed by a cosmetic surgeon and can be quite pricey.
If your scars are'nt very severe then you could try chemical peels at home they can be bought quite cheaply, are simple to do and for milder peels such as gylcolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels there is no down time. TCA peels can also be performed at home but i would'nt recommend them for a first time user. If you want to try the peels start off with the milder ones. TCA also has a recovery period of about a week when the skin is actually peeling, whereas the milder peels don't actually peel they are just a deep exfoliation, so they basically just speed up the skins natural process. They also leave skin looking great just like a facial. Once your more experienced with the peels you could then try TCA for a deeper peel. Also Gycolic acid and fruit acid peels also shrink the pores for upto a few days after you have used it. heres a few websites with some info on and where to buy. Good luck, Hope this Helps.

If the scar includes structural deformities of the skin like punched out depressive scars it might remain permanently. But if it is hyperpigmentation only (ie darkening of affected area) then application of demelanizing agents might work for you. Creams containing Hydroquinones such as Melalite cream or others brands aviailable in the market may be tried. Apply on the area and gently rub till the cream venishes. Do it twice daily for few weeks. This medication might also work for pregnancy induced melasma (darkenung on the cheek). But never forget to read the directions given in the paper that comes with the medicine which gives direction of use for the particular brand. Protect eyes and mouth from entering the cream.

Vitamin e oil is great for scars, even old ones, and can be used right out of the bottle. you don't have to use capsules. Check with your pharmacist about tea tree, isn't that to drying?
